Damn dude. Kyle's nickname according to other posters was "Norby" in the past,
maybe "Norby" is listed on the bio sheet they were working from? That's not
the fault of the guys calling the event. The webcast wasn't without some
mistakes but have you ever tried calling a live event? Not easy at all, I've
heard stories of so called experts freeze up when given a mic. Todd and Kenan
are pros that have to call a run while working with info on 35 riders and try
it sound interesting to the non mountain bike crowd. The carbon frame comment
seemed to catch Kenan off guard, he knows mountain bikes. Maybe they were
planning on using this webcast footage for a later NBC broadcast? If that's
the case then the guys need to call a generic event and assume that people
don't know what is going on. I know Kenan personally and know that he still
rips on a bike as noted in this shot just taken the week before the
event…[https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-

Keep in mind that we don't know all that is going on behind the scenes. I
didn't see you mention the numerous times any rider would start down the ridge
line and disappear from camera view but the production team took a couple of
seconds to switch to another camera. That is more annoying to me.
